If you find coins for less money, it might be a good idea to start a collection from Canada. As an example, the 1925 Canada Cent is very hard to find. Job Coin Grading Services says it might be worth around $30 in an F12.
This might work out great if what you want isn’t in great shape. There are, however, many collectors and numismatics fans who aren’t interested in having all the specimens. Instead, they want the ones that are in perfect state.
The Value of the Scarce 1925 Canada Cent Coin
Even if the rare 1925 cent is found in MS65RB grade, the Canadian coin market might have better prices. PCGS says that a piece like this could be worth $3,000, for instance.
Take the 1943-D Bronze MS Lincoln Cent (Wheat Reverse), which sold for an all-time high $840,000.00 at auction. Certainly, there is a big difference between price and being able to afford something.
Now, let’s look at why this Canadian cent is so rare and why collectors in Canada, the US, and other places want it so badly.
Canadian small-cent production for this coin
When Canada struck a few cents in 1925, it was because of two main things. One the one hand, money. Economic problems had an effect on the mintage. But that wasn’t the only reason.
The truth is that there were a lot of coins from previous years in use. That is, people did not want more cents in 1925. In fact, some coins were only made in 2,000,000, but in 1925, there were barely 1 million made.
Coin collectors love the Canadian coins because they look like artifacts from a different time. This 1925 is interesting because it shows King George V, the British king, and the maple leaves on the back.
